class method

GC.disable

() -> bool

GC.disable → true or false

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-4.0.0/gc.rb, line 76
def self.disable
  Primitive.gc_disable
end

Disables garbage collection (but GC.start remains potent): returns whether garbage collection was already disabled.

Example

GC.enable
GC.disable # => false
GC.disable # => true
